Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, folks, another jam packed edition of Crime Wire Weekly

In Florida, two middle school students are arrested after causing
fifty thousand dollars worth of damage to their school library.
But wait till you hear who turned them in. In Louisiana,
(00:21):
partying and an LSU tailgate took on a completely new
meaning and led to the arrest of a Baton Ridge
Middle School teacher. In North Dakota, a woman describes the
killing of her boyfriend as like splitting wood to police.
New details have come out in the case of a
Kentucky cheerleader who gave birth to a baby found dead
(00:43):
in a closet. We're going to bring you those details.
A New York man is arrested after getting a DUI
while operating a pink Barbie jeep. No kidding, You're not
going to believe this story. These stories and more are
coming at you today on Crime Wire Weekly. I'm Jim
Chapman and I'm why did you sing your name? Kelly Jennis?
(01:07):
I don't know Kelly's in a singing made today, folks.
She just sung her name.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
I'm a joy in my heart.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
I'm gonna start doing I'm Jim Chapman. Oh lord, I'm
not cutting any of that out. Great, all right, let's
get into the stories for today, and we're gonna start
off in Florida to middle school students in Florida have
been charged after causing fifty thousand dollars worth of damage
(01:37):
to a school's media center. This from authorities on Sunday,
September fourteenth. Uh the Sheriff's office shaer bodycam footage on
Facebook and the damage done to Friendship Elementary School. Now
that's the last school you're you're gonna want to damage.
This one called Friendship rightly. This is in Deltona, Florida.
(01:59):
And yes, I did you checking. Is not Daytona. It
is delton Yeah, I'm telling you that is really close
to Daytona. I'm like, why would they name it Daltona.
But anyway, shout out Daltona, Florida. After deputies responded to
a fire alarm overnight quote. Once on the scene, they
found that a glass door had been shattered and the
(02:20):
media center had been vandalized. The clips saw officers checking
the location. They were making their way around overturned tables
other pieces of furniture items were actually thrown all over
the floor, and police confirmed that someone you wouldn't expect
turned them in. It was actually their mother's good How
(02:41):
about that?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
That's perfect?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
So how did they know their children were responsible for this? Well?
Police shared those images of the two persons of interest
in the video, and they received a ton of emails
identifying them. Apparently everybody knew who these kids were. Uh,
but two of those emails, as I said, were from
the defendant's mothers. So basically, the two boys moms saw
(03:05):
those videos and turned them in. I'm sure they were
mortified when they saw these on the news. The boys
then confessed to the incident and as I said, fifty
thousand dollars worth of damage. I mean, they didn't just
like spray painted desk right. Officers said they broke into
the school during the daytime hours, then returned later in
the evening to look at the damage and cause more damage.
(03:28):
They have each been charged with two counts of burglary,
two counts of trespassing on school grounds, criminal mischief, and theft.
Friendship Elementary said in a statement that they're thankful for
the Sheriff's Office for their investigation of the case, and
that they obviously found these two middle school juvenile delinquents.
Just like with threats, our campuses have a zero tolerance
(03:51):
for destruction of property. They added, all.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Right, so have you seen the pictures of these little
boys before I start?
Speaker 3 (03:57):
No?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Okay, well I did see it by chance actually last
night on television, and one of those little boys looked
straight up like a little punk, a little punk who
thinks he's a badass. And so when your mommy turns
you in, I think that kind of strips you of
all your cred bubba. Okay, So, second of all, I
was watching TV last night randomly, and you know who
Vinnie Polatainn is on Court TV. Okay, I love Veni
(04:21):
polatane I think he's cool as shit. Anyway, they were
doing kind of a round table talking about this case,
and he had two people that were supposed to be
like high esteem people that were making comments about how
this is just childhood activity, that this is something that
we promote in our culture. And they're like, you know,
we tp houses, toilet paper houses and we do that,
and I'm like, what that was good old fun whenever
(04:42):
you toilet paper to house. And I'm saying you're not
destroying the property. This was This was insane if you
looked at all of the video of it, right, And
I remember when I was young, and I'm not going
to call out names, but if my friends are listening,
they know exactly what I'm talking about. I actually had
a neighborhood friend that I grew up with that did
this at a local I think it was a private school,
and it was way more than fifty thousand dollars in damages.
(05:05):
This became huge, so and I think his dad ended
up having to you know, he could have destroyed his
life financially with what all went on with that. Now,
I don't remember all the details because I was a kid,
but like, what do you doing? Kid? What are y'all
doing that you would go destroy a library?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Like right? Yeah? And you know, young kids, of course,
they don't get They don't get it like adults do.
As far as fifty thousand dollars in damage to them
means nothing because they've never earned a dime. So they
just tearing shit up and they need to get you know,
maybe they need to bring back the belt. Yeah, yeah,
(05:45):
because I know I will wear that ass out my kids.
You have never you know, a lie. That's yeah, that's
bad stuff right there. That's a lot of money and
the parents a lot of times end up having to
pay that. Yeah, you know, I.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Mean this, that's crazy that the and they weren't very old,
so it's like they were when they were loose at night.
That kind of made me wonder, Well, this happened during
the day, Yeah at first, but then they came back
that night, right.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Again, Well, it didn't say that said they came back later.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
It must have been a weekend then if it might.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Have been seven o'clock in the morning and then three
o'clock in the afternoon.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I guess, Hey, good job, mama's I guess. As far
as turning in their own kids, that's the right thing
to do, right, and hopefully these kids will uh you
know something, I think we miss a lot and people
may disagree with me, but I don't really care. One
thing that irked me when I worked with kids, okay
in the school system, is that when they destroyed stuff,
they got detention or they got suspended. No, you need
(06:43):
to clean up exactly what you messed up. My humble
opinion was that no, no, you can turn around, you
can go over there with a rag. You can go
there with you know, whatever we need, and you can
clean it all up. And I hated that they never
had to be punished in that way, right someone a
janitor would have to pick it up. A janitor would
have to go clean up the mess and whatever. And
(07:05):
I think maybe we're missing the boat there. Whenever we
just suspend somebody. Okay, so you get what a free
few days off of school? Wow? What a punishment? Yeah,
you come destroy my house like that. The jail's gonna
be the least of your worries, cause you come in
to pick it up and fix it, no doubt, whenever
you get out a little pump. I don't like that.
Let's move on to a teacher. I don't like either,
(07:26):
all right, And it's right here in Louisiana, right here,
just down a few interstate exits. A Westdale Middle School
teacher was arrested after a random drug search at the
school yielded cocaine and marijuana. This is according to the
East bat News. Paari Sheriff's Office. Virginia Summers, forty seven
years old, was arrested after a random lockdown dog search.
(07:47):
The dog alerted officials to drugs in Summer's bag, where
they found cocaine in her wallet. Officials say Summers admitted
to using the cocaine during an LSU tailgate and was
given it for free from a friend. Friends are we
hanging out with? Deputy searched her car, I mean, golly.
Deputies then searched her car, where they found marijuana and
pipes in her glove compartment. Summers taught sixth and seventh
(08:10):
grade math intervention for two years, O rest document said,
and she was booked for possession of cocaine, possession of marijuana,
drug paraphernalia, and violation of controlled dangerous substances in a
school zone.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Yeah. I don't believe that somebody gave that to her
and she forgot it was in her wallet. Number one,
number two. Obviously, that gets you out of no trouble.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I mean, it's like when Paris Hilton said, remember when
she got arrested, she had like cocaine in her pants,
and she's like, these are my friend's pants. The cops
are a lot. You should look that up. Really, she said,
these are my friend's pants pairs. Ain't nobody else fitting
those skinny ass pants? Those were your pants pairs?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Anyway, back to this story, so the lady essentially is
blaming this obviously on her friend, and she gave me
that at the LSU tailgate and it was a little
bump and I was spaced to take that bump, and
I must have forgot it was in my purse. The
funny thing is about this, if you're looking at for
a funny side of things, is these drug dogs are
(09:08):
running up and down these and instead of what you
would think is them hitting on a student's book sack,
it hits on the teacher's purse. And she was probably
like a yeah, oh rock I had in there from
the weekend, Go Tigers. Yeah that's not good.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
I actually have a similar story personally. Okay, So I
taught criminal justice and part of that was I like
I had these boxes I put up on the wall
and it had like how a meth lab. Not total.
I wasn't teaching kids how to make meth. Everybody calmed down,
but it had like kind of the common things you
can just go to Walmart and get to that meth
or made from and stuff like that. Well, some of
(09:47):
the paraphernalia that I had was old and was confiscated
whenever I was working, or some other friends of mine
that earn law enforcement were working. So I had created
this display board with some things in it to show kids,
you know, what it looks like or whatever. No disclaimer,
I did not have a dimebag or something up hanging
up there. Okay, anyway, well, apparently one of these grinders
(10:09):
or whatever that I had had enough residues. So we
did a lockdown and the dogs came through. And guess
whose classroom was like overload with these dog with the
dog like having a mine okay, because it was hitting
on those boxes as if I had drugs in my classroom.
Talk about shit your pants, because I did not have
(10:31):
drugs in the classroom. But well when I explained what
it was and the dog went and they're like, oh, yeah,
I mean it wasn't There was no drugs in it.
It was just a a residue smell and they can
pick it up. Because a lot of people don't know
this when a canine comes in. Canines are not like humans.
Like when we walk into a restaurant and we smell
a cheeseburger, we go, ooh, that's a cheeseburger. But whenever
(10:53):
a canine smells a cheeseburger. They smell it, by peace.
They smell the bread, they smell the lettuce, they smell
the tomato. So these dogs noses are very, very, very sensitive,
I guess, is my point. And so just the smallest
amount and and they can find it.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Yeah, they they certainly can. And you know one way
that a human instead of a dog can tell if
cocaine is cocaine is to smell it.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Is that what you do.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
That's what I do. Some people take well, some people
do that. I smell it because I know what cocaine
smells it.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
You actively smell it. Good God, Jamathy. And you know
she was teaching math intervention. But math is hard enough.
Can you imagine that bitch being on cocaine teaching you
math and it's supposed to be an intervention class. Yeah,
you take it to you and you added to it,
and then you get four, and then you take it
four and you go down the hollway. And when you
go down the hollay, that's when you your friend.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
You take because they get Yeah, she talks to you fast,
that's the lord.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Yeah, that's one thing you don't want is your math
teacher on cocin. Yeah, I'm lady.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Yes, it's horrible, Yeah, it really is. Don't do drugs, kids,
definitely not. And teachers, yeah, hopefully no kids listen to this.
If you do, don't say not to drugs.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
All right, we're gonna go. In North Dakota, a little
more serious story here, a North Dakota woman has been
arrested and charged with attempted murder after authorities alleged she
tried to kill her boyfriend with a hatchet as he slept.
The incidents happened in Fargo, North Dakota, where the woman
reportedly left her boyfriend with a large slice in his
(12:30):
head and that's how they describe it, a large slice
in his head and multiple fingers hanging off his hand.
Another man was at the house when alleged when the
alleged incident occurred and was a witness to what happened.
The man told police he saw Lena Davelia delivering a
blow with the hatchet, adding that she seemed to be
(12:52):
quote out of it during the attack. You think she
might have been out of it, he said. He loved
he saw her swing down the hatchet. He couldn't see
the point of the strike due to obstructions, but heard
it sound like splitting wood. Wow, imagine that. Initially thinking
she hit the head rest or the headboard, the witness
(13:14):
said Davillia appeared to have come to after hearing a
click of the foot rest on a nearby recliner chair
and seeing blood around her, leading her to quickly flee
the scene. Authority said she was arrested two days later
in Moorhead, Minnesota, which is about a mile away. How
do you go on the run a mile away? I
(13:36):
mean a mile is nothing. That's like going from one
neighborhood to another. I'm safe now. They'll never find me here.
I'm a mile away. Police responded to the scene after
the victim called nine one one. I bet he did.
He was reportedly alone at the house when officers arrived,
and said no one else was with him when Davillia
attacked him, though police later learned the witness was present.
(13:58):
So I wonder why he lied about that.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
I don't think he did. I think he was disoriented.
He got hit in the head with a hatchet.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Yeah, that'd be a good excuse. I might have forgot
my madoubla obulung gotta got cut in half, and I
can't remember I don't know. Investigators found a blood drell
coming from the garage of the house to where the
victim and witness were all staying. The boyfriend was taken
to a local hospital. He had surgery on his fingers
(14:24):
and devilia. She declined to speak with police when she
was arrested, and has since been charged with attentive murder
and aggravated assault. I wonder what he did to piss
her off so bad she took a hatchet to him.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
I don't I don't even know. But it's not it
doesn't matter what he did. I mean, he's asleep, so
he takes someone who's defenseless and can't you know, and
that's when you decide to attack.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
In North Dakota. You're evil, now, Fargo, don't go into
the movie.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
I mean, if she couldn't have just swung it one time,
if there's a strike to the head and his fingers
are hanging.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Off, maybe he went to block it and it went
through his fingers and hit his head.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
While he was asleep. I need more details of this,
but yeah, poor guy, man, I'm that's gotta be uh traumatizing.
It's like shit out of a cherry.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I would say so Wow, I never going to sleep
in front of a woman again is probably what he's thinking.
They're going to bad first.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
I wonder if she's on drugs or something, uh something.
You know. Some people take the taking insomniam that's what
as I say. Some people take the sleeping medicine and
then like.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
But they don't cut people's heads off. They cook foods.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I know my mother in law drive car. My mother
in law made something in a crock pot outside right
after the big great flood and didn't even know it because.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
She's a big great flood.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Big grape not know. The ours here locally are.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Greape flood of twenty sixteen. Yeah, that thing, the big
grape flood.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
He know, everybody smelled.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
There's nothing great about that flood.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Listen, we all smelled something delicious while we're trying to
clean out the house and everything. We're like, who's cooking?
And it turned out she had taken her sleep medicine.
We called it the blue football. She took her little
blue football, blae football. It was shaped like a little
blue football.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Her sleep It was blue. Are you sure was viagar?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
She didn't take no down via viagra is blue? No,
she didn't take it down viagra. But anyway, she cooked
a pot roast, smelled delish.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
She was taking viagaray. I just don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
It, but you know, you say that my mama went
to go get her diabetes medicine one time right here locally.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
That's what she told you.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
No, they gave her viagri.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
I bet, I'm mad. That was an accident. You saw it.
She's like, all that's supposed to be my diabetes gave
me the all mad?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I said, Mama, did you like grow a beard and
get excited?
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Hell?
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Lord?
Speaker 1 (16:38):
All right?
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Yeah, So let's go to Kentucky and this is the
story that's been all over the headlines. University of Kentucky
cheerleader Lake and Snelling's newborn had been dead for hours
when someone discovered the tiny body inside a closet in
her off campus home, according to the newly released information
from authorities. So, when this story originally broke, we didn't
cover it because the details were so limited. But now
(17:00):
that there's more detail, we're gonna go ahead and catch you up.
So on August twenty seventh, at ten thirty four am,
a Lexington police dispatcher received a nine to one one
call about the discovery of a newborn wrapped in a
towel inside of a trash bag in the closet of
an on camp or an off campus home. The complainant
just found a dead baby in a closet. The dispatcher disclosed,
(17:22):
it's cold to the touch. Oh my god, yeah. No.
The temperature of the body indicates that the newborn had
been dead for at least three to four hours. According
to the report, After the first hour of death, the
body generally begins to cool by one to one and
a half degrees per hour. The newborn was wrapped in
a towel inside of a trash a black trash bag,
and authorities identified Lake and Snelling as the biological mother
(17:45):
of the baby boy. Snelling, who was on the stunt
competitive cheer team at the University of Kentucky, wasn't home
when the nine one one call was placed, and police,
EMTs and the fire department all arrived shortly thereafter. Officers
found her about five minutes away from the home shortly after,
according to the report, and she was taken to police
headquarters and asked to be checked out medically. Snelling admitted
(18:08):
to giving birth when interviewed by officers and decleaning up
all evidence and throwing it in the trash bag, including
the infant who was wrapped in a towel. On Sunday,
August thirty first, Lake and Snelling, She's twenty one, by
the way, she was arrested and charged with abuse of
a corpse, tampering with physical evidence, and concealing the birth
of an infant. After her arrest, Snelling was held at
the Fayette County Detention Center, but she was released on
(18:31):
September the second on a one hundred thousand dollars bond.
She appeared in court on Tuesday, September the second, where
she has now pled not guilty. On Wednesday, September the third,
the Fayette County coroner, his name is Gary gin He
said the results of a preliminary autopsy yielded inconclusive findings
for the baby's cause of death. The death investigation remains
(18:51):
ongoing pending the results of these studies. Given that questions
still remained about when she gave birth, if she possibly
had a miscarriage, or if the baby was born alive
or still born, and whether she even knew if she
was pregnant or not, Snelling was placed on house arrest
at her parents' home in Jefferson City, Tennessee, where she remains.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Just a horrible story, and you know one thing about it.
First of all, look, I don't know how you wouldn't
be able to know you're pregnant. I would think there
were and I'm not obviously a female, but I would
think there's plenty of signs to that outside of just
you having a belly that you didn't initially have. I mean,
(19:33):
this was a cheerleader.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
I saw pictures she was pregnant.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. She wasn't. She was someone
who wasn't like heavy set or anything like that prior
to this, to where maybe you could use that as
some sort of lame excuse. That being said, you know,
I don't know that maybe the baby wasn't born still born,
and maybe she panicked. I don't know. I mean, it
(20:00):
is a really bizarre case. I dug into it, and
there's just it's just really bizarre because I couldn't believe
they let her out of jail initially, and then I'm like, well,
all this other shit's coming out, what the hell happened?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
I can be compassionate to a point, Okay, I can
be compassionate if she was pregnant and she didn't want
people to know because she wanted to continue cheering, and
she's young and she's not making good decisions. I can
be compassionate that you gave birth alone and how terrifying
that must have been. And I can be compassionate whenever
you may have panicked. But where I'm going to draw
the line is whenever you think it appropriate to wrap
(20:36):
your baby, not try to get help for your baby,
and then wrap it and throw it in a trash
bag in the back of your closet. That's where I'm
drawing the line, because that looks like malice to me.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Yeah, and if the baby was still born, it was
already dead. That's where I'm talking about the panic. Yeah,
like I don't know what to do. Like, obviously this
was completely the wrong decision. But everybody, Kelly, everybody that
knows this chick says, there's it will be like you
doing it. Yeah, I'm like, people are like, this is
(21:08):
not who this girl is. Like this is completely bizarre,
and she knew she wasn't gonna get away with it.
She left it in a closet. Well, I'm like she
tried to hide it in a garbage can or something.
What if and I say it, it was a bean
baby boy a baby. She left this baby her son.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Yeah, so part of me wonders if she she knew
she was pregnant, she didn't want people to know. Then
if she did go into labor early, had this baby,
the shock of it all, but the baby was dead,
then she's like, Okay, well then I can keep it
a secret and no one has to know anything. And
I'm wondering, but you put it in.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
You put the baby in a closet. You didn't put
the baby in trying to hide the baby, right, That's
what blows my mind.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
But what I'm saying is if the baby was still born,
then in her immature, young mind, I'm wondering if she thought, well,
he's dead, there's nothing I can do anyway, Maybe I
can just keep this a secret and no one will
ever know anything. That's why she cleaned it up.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
But why did she hide the baby in a closet,
Because if that was my mentality, I'm saying I would
have taken the baby somewhere and hid the baby, like.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
You know, And this is obviously I can't think about, well,
I can't. I can't think like that person would think,
because I would never do that. But I'm good. I'm
not gonna put the baby in a closet and say, Okay,
now I'm safe. Nobody's ever gonna find the baby here.
That's why I'm saying it. It seems like she wasn't
in her right mind.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Yeah, but maybe it was temporary because she cleaned up.
She just gave birth, and she got up and like
she walked and was going somewhere. Was she going to class?
The whole thing is is there's something not right about it.
When you put a baby sound of sound mind, Okay,
when you put a baby in a trash bag in
your closet, that sound mind goes, what the hell's wrong
(22:55):
with you? But I do wonder if maybe that was
she wasn't in her right mind.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
I don't know what. It's horrible, it's bizarre, it's it's
just awful. But hopefully more details that come.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Out, yeah than that that was your son, of course.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Yeah, no doubt about it is. And I'm telling you
all accounts of everybody who's ever known this girl said
that she thinks the same way you just said, and
the way I think and they can't. This makes absolutely
zer worth sense to anybody that's ever named this girl,
which is just blazed my mind. Horrible, yeah, awful. All right,
(23:35):
well let's lighten it up a little bit, then, how
about that, and let's go to a far off land,
the far off land of British Columbia. Have you ever
been to British Columbia? Nope, I have.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
I've been nowhere, Jim. I mean, I've been in like
four states, maybe five.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Really.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
I've been to Texas, I've been to have been to Utah, actually, Utah.
I've been to al Yeah, I went to Salt Lake City,
Utah on a conference. Okay, And I've been to where
all have you been? Because I haven't been anywhere? Well,
I take the back. I did go on my honeymoon
to world to like the Bahamas.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
You've been to the Bahamas. Well that's that's out of
the freaking fifty states.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I mean, yeah, I don't even know where British Columbia is,
though I'm not. I'm not good at you.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Like Canada, Well, no, hell no.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Wonder I've been there.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
It's right next to Canada.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
I've never been up on the map that far.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Okay, well, let's go to British Columbia, okay, and we're
going to tell you that if you decide that you
want a drink and drive in British Columbia, it's probably
a bad decision. So it's possible even to get arrusted
for driving a pink child size barbigee under the influence. Yes,
and we'll tell you about this incident that occurred on
(24:49):
a busy street in Prince George, British Columbia, a man
by the name of Casper Lincoln Jesus.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
That sounds like, don't make fun of me.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I knew it, Casper, she's the it friendly goes. I
thought the same thing. Well, he proved that even driving
that Barbie Jeep can lead to a rest if you've
had a little bit too much. In an interview with
a British Columbia news outlet, he said he had been
planning to meet up with a friend to get a slurpy.
He's a grown ass man. Look all my friends out there.
(25:20):
If I call you and say, hey, you want to
go get a slurpy in a Barbie Jeep, yeah, think
about that. But he got lazy. He was just gonna
walk there because British Columbia ain't that big, right, And
it's really not. It's like a little quaint town. You
could walk from one end to the other. He gets
lazy and he's like, you know what, I'm not gonna
(25:41):
walk to go get this slurpy. I'm gonna go ahead
and take my roommate's child's toy car instead of walking.
So he's driving down the road. Multiple onlookers find this funny,
as we all would, and they do what you think
they do. They pull out their cell phones, so they
start taking video of his. Dude, he's cruising down the
main strip. He's wearing these large reflective sunglasses and you
(26:04):
can see him being trailed by police. Now he told
he told this news outlet that he had never drove
the Barbie Jeep before. I mean, you got that going
for you, because oh yeah, this is my tenth time
driving it. You know, really would have been weird. And
he was actually using hand signals and everything he said
when he would turn. And he also said, I had
(26:26):
no idea I was breaking in the laws. I didn't
know it was against the law to drive Barbie Jeep drunk.
I thought it had to be a regular car. Well, police,
on the other hand, they thought different. They released a
statement saying, quote, while it might seem to some to
be an inefficient use of police time to pull over
a driver in a toy car, the risk of the driver.
(26:48):
The risk of the driver was creating the other murderers
on the road who were forced to go around him,
coupled with the wrisk to himself and other drivers who
are not in the habit of looking for toy cars
on a busney road was enough to warn police attention.
I gotta say I kind of agree with that. Yeah, like,
you know, you can't just be jumping on a major highway,
(27:10):
y'all the same a neighborhood subdivision street. Come on, the
man said, despite the unfortunate turn of events, he doesn't
hold any grudges, and he's chalking it up to a
learning lesson which we all should when we go drive
Barbie Jeeps drunk.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Have you ever driven a Barbie Geep drunk?
Speaker 1 (27:28):
I haven't ever driven a Barbie Jeep proudly drunk or ceber.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
That was almost a setup and you passed you've never
driven one at all, So that's a good thing. We
bought one of those electric cars for our kids. But
this one was like much faster than like not a
barbie car, you know. It was like a bigger one
with cool wheels on it and stuff. And so we
went out in the front yard and we let him loose,
put our helmets on, so go after it. It wasn't
(27:54):
fifteen seconds later we heard boom. Our kids slammed into
a light pole and almost killed themselves. It looked like
actual wreckage on the highway. They flew out of.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
The car and oh, come off key a toy car.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Call my husband, Call my husband. It had two batteries
in it. It was as it was like a It
was like a cool car for a little bit older
than little Bitti's. But it went fast. How fast I
think it went like twenty miles an hour.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
You put your babies in a car that went twenty
miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Okay, maybe it wasn't twenty, but it felt like it.
As their mother, it felt like it. But sure, okay, well,
I thought my children were bright enough not to drive
straight into all They're not. No, they're not.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
No kids are well.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
We learned that, dumb We learned that lesson.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
And it looked like an actual wreck.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
I tell you what. We'll post a picture. Remind me,
I'll post a picture. I think of a video of
the wreck.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
There you got a police You should have called the police.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Like turn turn wown shit? All right, speaking of poor
decision making. Uh, let's go to the now.

Hey, folks, another jam packed edition of Crime Wire Weekly

In Florida, two middle school students are arrested after causing
fifty thousand dollars worth of damage to their school library.
But wait till you hear who turned them in. In Louisiana,
(00:21):
partying and an LSU tailgate took on a completely new
meaning and led to the arrest of a Baton Ridge
Middle School teacher. In North Dakota, a woman describes the
killing of her boyfriend as like splitting wood to police.
New details have come out in the case of a
Kentucky cheerleader who gave birth to a baby found dead
(00:43):
in a closet. We're going to bring you those details.
A New York man is arrested after getting a DUI
while operating a pink Barbie jeep. No kidding, You're not
going to believe this story. These stories and more are
coming at you today on Crime Wire Weekly. I'm Jim
Chapman and I'm why did you sing your name? Kelly Jennis?
(01:07):
I don't know Kelly's in a singing made today, folks.
She just sung her name.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
I'm a joy in my heart.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
I'm gonna start doing I'm Jim Chapman. Oh lord, I'm
not cutting any of that out. Great, all right, let's
get into the stories for today, and we're gonna start
off in Florida to middle school students in Florida have
been charged after causing fifty thousand dollars worth of damage
(01:37):
to a school's media center. This from authorities on Sunday,
September fourteenth. Uh the Sheriff's office shaer bodycam footage on
Facebook and the damage done to Friendship Elementary School. Now
that's the last school you're you're gonna want to damage.
This one called Friendship rightly. This is in Deltona, Florida.
(01:59):
And yes, I did you checking. Is not Daytona. It
is delton Yeah, I'm telling you that is really close
to Daytona. I'm like, why would they name it Daltona.
But anyway, shout out Daltona, Florida. After deputies responded to
a fire alarm overnight quote. Once on the scene, they
found that a glass door had been shattered and the
(02:20):
media center had been vandalized. The clips saw officers checking
the location. They were making their way around overturned tables
other pieces of furniture items were actually thrown all over
the floor, and police confirmed that someone you wouldn't expect
turned them in. It was actually their mother's good How
(02:41):
about that?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
That's perfect?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
So how did they know their children were responsible for this? Well?
Police shared those images of the two persons of interest
in the video, and they received a ton of emails
identifying them. Apparently everybody knew who these kids were. Uh,
but two of those emails, as I said, were from
the defendant's mothers. So basically, the two boys moms saw
(03:05):
those videos and turned them in. I'm sure they were
mortified when they saw these on the news. The boys
then confessed to the incident and as I said, fifty
thousand dollars worth of damage. I mean, they didn't just
like spray painted desk right. Officers said they broke into
the school during the daytime hours, then returned later in
the evening to look at the damage and cause more damage.
(03:28):
They have each been charged with two counts of burglary,
two counts of trespassing on school grounds, criminal mischief, and theft.
Friendship Elementary said in a statement that they're thankful for
the Sheriff's Office for their investigation of the case, and
that they obviously found these two middle school juvenile delinquents.
Just like with threats, our campuses have a zero tolerance
(03:51):
for destruction of property. They added, all.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Right, so have you seen the pictures of these little
boys before I start?
Speaker 3 (03:57):
No?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Okay, well I did see it by chance actually last
night on television, and one of those little boys looked
straight up like a little punk, a little punk who
thinks he's a badass. And so when your mommy turns
you in, I think that kind of strips you of
all your cred bubba. Okay, So, second of all, I
was watching TV last night randomly, and you know who
Vinnie Polatainn is on Court TV. Okay, I love Veni
(04:21):
polatane I think he's cool as shit. Anyway, they were
doing kind of a round table talking about this case,
and he had two people that were supposed to be
like high esteem people that were making comments about how
this is just childhood activity, that this is something that
we promote in our culture. And they're like, you know,
we tp houses, toilet paper houses and we do that,
and I'm like, what that was good old fun whenever
(04:42):
you toilet paper to house. And I'm saying you're not
destroying the property. This was This was insane if you
looked at all of the video of it, right, And
I remember when I was young, and I'm not going
to call out names, but if my friends are listening,
they know exactly what I'm talking about. I actually had
a neighborhood friend that I grew up with that did
this at a local I think it was a private school,
and it was way more than fifty thousand dollars in damages.
(05:05):
This became huge, so and I think his dad ended
up having to you know, he could have destroyed his
life financially with what all went on with that. Now,
I don't remember all the details because I was a kid,
but like, what do you doing? Kid? What are y'all
doing that you would go destroy a library?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Like right? Yeah? And you know, young kids, of course,
they don't get They don't get it like adults do.
As far as fifty thousand dollars in damage to them
means nothing because they've never earned a dime. So they
just tearing shit up and they need to get you know,
maybe they need to bring back the belt. Yeah, yeah,
(05:45):
because I know I will wear that ass out my kids.
You have never you know, a lie. That's yeah, that's
bad stuff right there. That's a lot of money and
the parents a lot of times end up having to
pay that. Yeah, you know, I.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Mean this, that's crazy that the and they weren't very old,
so it's like they were when they were loose at night.
That kind of made me wonder, Well, this happened during
the day, Yeah at first, but then they came back
that night, right.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Again, Well, it didn't say that said they came back later.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
It must have been a weekend then if it might.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Have been seven o'clock in the morning and then three
o'clock in the afternoon.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I guess, Hey, good job, mama's I guess. As far
as turning in their own kids, that's the right thing
to do, right, and hopefully these kids will uh you
know something, I think we miss a lot and people
may disagree with me, but I don't really care. One
thing that irked me when I worked with kids, okay
in the school system, is that when they destroyed stuff,
they got detention or they got suspended. No, you need
(06:43):
to clean up exactly what you messed up. My humble
opinion was that no, no, you can turn around, you
can go over there with a rag. You can go
there with you know, whatever we need, and you can
clean it all up. And I hated that they never
had to be punished in that way, right someone a
janitor would have to pick it up. A janitor would
have to go clean up the mess and whatever. And
(07:05):
I think maybe we're missing the boat there. Whenever we
just suspend somebody. Okay, so you get what a free
few days off of school? Wow? What a punishment? Yeah,
you come destroy my house like that. The jail's gonna
be the least of your worries, cause you come in
to pick it up and fix it, no doubt, whenever
you get out a little pump. I don't like that.
Let's move on to a teacher. I don't like either,
(07:26):
all right, And it's right here in Louisiana, right here,
just down a few interstate exits. A Westdale Middle School
teacher was arrested after a random drug search at the
school yielded cocaine and marijuana. This is according to the
East bat News. Paari Sheriff's Office. Virginia Summers, forty seven
years old, was arrested after a random lockdown dog search.
(07:47):
The dog alerted officials to drugs in Summer's bag, where
they found cocaine in her wallet. Officials say Summers admitted
to using the cocaine during an LSU tailgate and was
given it for free from a friend. Friends are we
hanging out with? Deputy searched her car, I mean, golly.
Deputies then searched her car, where they found marijuana and
pipes in her glove compartment. Summers taught sixth and seventh
(08:10):
grade math intervention for two years, O rest document said,
and she was booked for possession of cocaine, possession of marijuana,
drug paraphernalia, and violation of controlled dangerous substances in a
school zone.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Yeah. I don't believe that somebody gave that to her
and she forgot it was in her wallet. Number one,
number two. Obviously, that gets you out of no trouble.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I mean, it's like when Paris Hilton said, remember when
she got arrested, she had like cocaine in her pants,
and she's like, these are my friend's pants. The cops
are a lot. You should look that up. Really, she said,
these are my friend's pants pairs. Ain't nobody else fitting
those skinny ass pants? Those were your pants pairs?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Anyway, back to this story, so the lady essentially is
blaming this obviously on her friend, and she gave me
that at the LSU tailgate and it was a little
bump and I was spaced to take that bump, and
I must have forgot it was in my purse. The
funny thing is about this, if you're looking at for
a funny side of things, is these drug dogs are
(09:08):
running up and down these and instead of what you
would think is them hitting on a student's book sack,
it hits on the teacher's purse. And she was probably
like a yeah, oh rock I had in there from
the weekend, Go Tigers. Yeah that's not good.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
I actually have a similar story personally. Okay, So I
taught criminal justice and part of that was I like
I had these boxes I put up on the wall
and it had like how a meth lab. Not total.
I wasn't teaching kids how to make meth. Everybody calmed down,
but it had like kind of the common things you
can just go to Walmart and get to that meth
or made from and stuff like that. Well, some of
(09:47):
the paraphernalia that I had was old and was confiscated
whenever I was working, or some other friends of mine
that earn law enforcement were working. So I had created
this display board with some things in it to show kids,
you know, what it looks like or whatever. No disclaimer,
I did not have a dimebag or something up hanging
up there. Okay, anyway, well, apparently one of these grinders
(10:09):
or whatever that I had had enough residues. So we
did a lockdown and the dogs came through. And guess
whose classroom was like overload with these dog with the
dog like having a mine okay, because it was hitting
on those boxes as if I had drugs in my classroom.
Talk about shit your pants, because I did not have
(10:31):
drugs in the classroom. But well when I explained what
it was and the dog went and they're like, oh, yeah,
I mean it wasn't There was no drugs in it.
It was just a a residue smell and they can
pick it up. Because a lot of people don't know
this when a canine comes in. Canines are not like humans.
Like when we walk into a restaurant and we smell
a cheeseburger, we go, ooh, that's a cheeseburger. But whenever
(10:53):
a canine smells a cheeseburger. They smell it, by peace.
They smell the bread, they smell the lettuce, they smell
the tomato. So these dogs noses are very, very, very sensitive,
I guess, is my point. And so just the smallest
amount and and they can find it.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Yeah, they they certainly can. And you know one way
that a human instead of a dog can tell if
cocaine is cocaine is to smell it.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Is that what you do.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
That's what I do. Some people take well, some people
do that. I smell it because I know what cocaine
smells it.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
You actively smell it. Good God, Jamathy. And you know
she was teaching math intervention. But math is hard enough.
Can you imagine that bitch being on cocaine teaching you
math and it's supposed to be an intervention class. Yeah,
you take it to you and you added to it,
and then you get four, and then you take it
four and you go down the hollway. And when you
go down the hollay, that's when you your friend.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
You take because they get Yeah, she talks to you fast,
that's the lord.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Yeah, that's one thing you don't want is your math
teacher on cocin. Yeah, I'm lady.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Yes, it's horrible, Yeah, it really is. Don't do drugs, kids,
definitely not. And teachers, yeah, hopefully no kids listen to this.
If you do, don't say not to drugs.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
All right, we're gonna go. In North Dakota, a little
more serious story here, a North Dakota woman has been
arrested and charged with attempted murder after authorities alleged she
tried to kill her boyfriend with a hatchet as he slept.
The incidents happened in Fargo, North Dakota, where the woman
reportedly left her boyfriend with a large slice in his
(12:30):
head and that's how they describe it, a large slice
in his head and multiple fingers hanging off his hand.
Another man was at the house when alleged when the
alleged incident occurred and was a witness to what happened.
The man told police he saw Lena Davelia delivering a
blow with the hatchet, adding that she seemed to be
(12:52):
quote out of it during the attack. You think she
might have been out of it, he said. He loved
he saw her swing down the hatchet. He couldn't see
the point of the strike due to obstructions, but heard
it sound like splitting wood. Wow, imagine that. Initially thinking
she hit the head rest or the headboard, the witness
(13:14):
said Davillia appeared to have come to after hearing a
click of the foot rest on a nearby recliner chair
and seeing blood around her, leading her to quickly flee
the scene. Authority said she was arrested two days later
in Moorhead, Minnesota, which is about a mile away. How
do you go on the run a mile away? I
(13:36):
mean a mile is nothing. That's like going from one
neighborhood to another. I'm safe now. They'll never find me here.
I'm a mile away. Police responded to the scene after
the victim called nine one one. I bet he did.
He was reportedly alone at the house when officers arrived,
and said no one else was with him when Davillia
attacked him, though police later learned the witness was present.
(13:58):
So I wonder why he lied about that.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
I don't think he did. I think he was disoriented.
He got hit in the head with a hatchet.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Yeah, that'd be a good excuse. I might have forgot
my madoubla obulung gotta got cut in half, and I
can't remember I don't know. Investigators found a blood drell
coming from the garage of the house to where the
victim and witness were all staying. The boyfriend was taken
to a local hospital. He had surgery on his fingers
(14:24):
and devilia. She declined to speak with police when she
was arrested, and has since been charged with attentive murder
and aggravated assault. I wonder what he did to piss
her off so bad she took a hatchet to him.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
I don't I don't even know. But it's not it
doesn't matter what he did. I mean, he's asleep, so
he takes someone who's defenseless and can't you know, and
that's when you decide to attack.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
In North Dakota. You're evil, now, Fargo, don't go into
the movie.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
I mean, if she couldn't have just swung it one time,
if there's a strike to the head and his fingers
are hanging.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Off, maybe he went to block it and it went
through his fingers and hit his head.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
While he was asleep. I need more details of this,
but yeah, poor guy, man, I'm that's gotta be uh traumatizing.
It's like shit out of a cherry.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I would say so Wow, I never going to sleep
in front of a woman again is probably what he's thinking.
They're going to bad first.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
I wonder if she's on drugs or something, uh something.
You know. Some people take the taking insomniam that's what
as I say. Some people take the sleeping medicine and
then like.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
But they don't cut people's heads off. They cook foods.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I know my mother in law drive car. My mother
in law made something in a crock pot outside right
after the big great flood and didn't even know it because.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
She's a big great flood.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Big grape not know. The ours here locally are.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Greape flood of twenty sixteen. Yeah, that thing, the big
grape flood.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
He know, everybody smelled.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
There's nothing great about that flood.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Listen, we all smelled something delicious while we're trying to
clean out the house and everything. We're like, who's cooking?
And it turned out she had taken her sleep medicine.
We called it the blue football. She took her little
blue football, blae football. It was shaped like a little
blue football.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Her sleep It was blue. Are you sure was viagar?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
She didn't take no down via viagra is blue? No,
she didn't take it down viagra. But anyway, she cooked
a pot roast, smelled delish.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
She was taking viagaray. I just don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
It, but you know, you say that my mama went
to go get her diabetes medicine one time right here locally.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
That's what she told you.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
No, they gave her viagri.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
I bet, I'm mad. That was an accident. You saw it.
She's like, all that's supposed to be my diabetes gave
me the all mad?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I said, Mama, did you like grow a beard and
get excited?
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Hell?

Speaker 1 (16:38):
All right?
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Yeah, So let's go to Kentucky and this is the
story that's been all over the headlines. University of Kentucky
cheerleader Lake and Snelling's newborn had been dead for hours
when someone discovered the tiny body inside a closet in
her off campus home, according to the newly released information
from authorities. So, when this story originally broke, we didn't
cover it because the details were so limited. But now
(17:00):
that there's more detail, we're gonna go ahead and catch you up.
So on August twenty seventh, at ten thirty four am,
a Lexington police dispatcher received a nine to one one
call about the discovery of a newborn wrapped in a
towel inside of a trash bag in the closet of
an on camp or an off campus home. The complainant
just found a dead baby in a closet. The dispatcher disclosed,
(17:22):
it's cold to the touch. Oh my god, yeah. No.
The temperature of the body indicates that the newborn had
been dead for at least three to four hours. According
to the report, After the first hour of death, the
body generally begins to cool by one to one and
a half degrees per hour. The newborn was wrapped in
a towel inside of a trash a black trash bag,
and authorities identified Lake and Snelling as the biological mother
(17:45):
of the baby boy. Snelling, who was on the stunt
competitive cheer team at the University of Kentucky, wasn't home
when the nine one one call was placed, and police,
EMTs and the fire department all arrived shortly thereafter. Officers
found her about five minutes away from the home shortly after,
according to the report, and she was taken to police
headquarters and asked to be checked out medically. Snelling admitted
(18:08):
to giving birth when interviewed by officers and decleaning up
all evidence and throwing it in the trash bag, including
the infant who was wrapped in a towel. On Sunday,
August thirty first, Lake and Snelling, She's twenty one, by
the way, she was arrested and charged with abuse of
a corpse, tampering with physical evidence, and concealing the birth
of an infant. After her arrest, Snelling was held at
the Fayette County Detention Center, but she was released on
(18:31):
September the second on a one hundred thousand dollars bond.
She appeared in court on Tuesday, September the second, where
she has now pled not guilty. On Wednesday, September the third,
the Fayette County coroner, his name is Gary gin He
said the results of a preliminary autopsy yielded inconclusive findings
for the baby's cause of death. The death investigation remains
(18:51):
ongoing pending the results of these studies. Given that questions
still remained about when she gave birth, if she possibly
had a miscarriage, or if the baby was born alive
or still born, and whether she even knew if she
was pregnant or not, Snelling was placed on house arrest
at her parents' home in Jefferson City, Tennessee, where she remains.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Just a horrible story, and you know one thing about it.
First of all, look, I don't know how you wouldn't
be able to know you're pregnant. I would think there
were and I'm not obviously a female, but I would
think there's plenty of signs to that outside of just
you having a belly that you didn't initially have. I mean,
(19:33):
this was a cheerleader.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
I saw pictures she was pregnant.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. She wasn't. She was someone
who wasn't like heavy set or anything like that prior
to this, to where maybe you could use that as
some sort of lame excuse. That being said, you know,
I don't know that maybe the baby wasn't born still born,
and maybe she panicked. I don't know. I mean, it
(20:00):
is a really bizarre case. I dug into it, and
there's just it's just really bizarre because I couldn't believe
they let her out of jail initially, and then I'm like, well,
all this other shit's coming out, what the hell happened?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
I can be compassionate to a point, Okay, I can
be compassionate if she was pregnant and she didn't want
people to know because she wanted to continue cheering, and
she's young and she's not making good decisions. I can
be compassionate that you gave birth alone and how terrifying
that must have been. And I can be compassionate whenever
you may have panicked. But where I'm going to draw
the line is whenever you think it appropriate to wrap
(20:36):
your baby, not try to get help for your baby,
and then wrap it and throw it in a trash
bag in the back of your closet. That's where I'm
drawing the line, because that looks like malice to me.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Yeah, and if the baby was still born, it was
already dead. That's where I'm talking about the panic. Yeah,
like I don't know what to do. Like, obviously this
was completely the wrong decision. But everybody, Kelly, everybody that
knows this chick says, there's it will be like you
doing it. Yeah, I'm like, people are like, this is
(21:08):
not who this girl is. Like this is completely bizarre,
and she knew she wasn't gonna get away with it.
She left it in a closet. Well, I'm like she
tried to hide it in a garbage can or something.
What if and I say it, it was a bean
baby boy a baby. She left this baby her son.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Yeah, so part of me wonders if she she knew
she was pregnant, she didn't want people to know. Then
if she did go into labor early, had this baby,
the shock of it all, but the baby was dead,
then she's like, Okay, well then I can keep it
a secret and no one has to know anything. And
I'm wondering, but you put it in.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
You put the baby in a closet. You didn't put
the baby in trying to hide the baby, right, That's
what blows my mind.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
But what I'm saying is if the baby was still born,
then in her immature, young mind, I'm wondering if she thought, well,
he's dead, there's nothing I can do anyway, Maybe I
can just keep this a secret and no one will
ever know anything. That's why she cleaned it up.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
But why did she hide the baby in a closet,
Because if that was my mentality, I'm saying I would
have taken the baby somewhere and hid the baby, like.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
You know, And this is obviously I can't think about, well,
I can't. I can't think like that person would think,
because I would never do that. But I'm good. I'm
not gonna put the baby in a closet and say, Okay,
now I'm safe. Nobody's ever gonna find the baby here.
That's why I'm saying it. It seems like she wasn't
in her right mind.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Yeah, but maybe it was temporary because she cleaned up.
She just gave birth, and she got up and like
she walked and was going somewhere. Was she going to class?
The whole thing is is there's something not right about it.
When you put a baby sound of sound mind, Okay,
when you put a baby in a trash bag in
your closet, that sound mind goes, what the hell's wrong
(22:55):
with you? But I do wonder if maybe that was
she wasn't in her right mind.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
I don't know what. It's horrible, it's bizarre, it's it's
just awful. But hopefully more details that come.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Out, yeah than that that was your son, of course.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Yeah, no doubt about it is. And I'm telling you
all accounts of everybody who's ever known this girl said
that she thinks the same way you just said, and
the way I think and they can't. This makes absolutely
zer worth sense to anybody that's ever named this girl,
which is just blazed my mind. Horrible, yeah, awful. All right,
(23:35):
well let's lighten it up a little bit, then, how
about that, and let's go to a far off land,
the far off land of British Columbia. Have you ever
been to British Columbia? Nope, I have.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
I've been nowhere, Jim. I mean, I've been in like
four states, maybe five.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Really.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
I've been to Texas, I've been to have been to Utah, actually, Utah.
I've been to al Yeah, I went to Salt Lake City,
Utah on a conference. Okay, And I've been to where
all have you been? Because I haven't been anywhere? Well,
I take the back. I did go on my honeymoon
to world to like the Bahamas.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
You've been to the Bahamas. Well that's that's out of
the freaking fifty states.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I mean, yeah, I don't even know where British Columbia is,
though I'm not. I'm not good at you.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Like Canada, Well, no, hell no.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Wonder I've been there.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
It's right next to Canada.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
I've never been up on the map that far.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Okay, well, let's go to British Columbia, okay, and we're
going to tell you that if you decide that you
want a drink and drive in British Columbia, it's probably
a bad decision. So it's possible even to get arrusted
for driving a pink child size barbigee under the influence. Yes,
and we'll tell you about this incident that occurred on
(24:49):
a busy street in Prince George, British Columbia, a man
by the name of Casper Lincoln Jesus.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
That sounds like, don't make fun of me.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I knew it, Casper, she's the it friendly goes. I
thought the same thing. Well, he proved that even driving
that Barbie Jeep can lead to a rest if you've
had a little bit too much. In an interview with
a British Columbia news outlet, he said he had been
planning to meet up with a friend to get a slurpy.
He's a grown ass man. Look all my friends out there.
(25:20):
If I call you and say, hey, you want to
go get a slurpy in a Barbie Jeep, yeah, think
about that. But he got lazy. He was just gonna
walk there because British Columbia ain't that big, right, And
it's really not. It's like a little quaint town. You
could walk from one end to the other. He gets
lazy and he's like, you know what, I'm not gonna
(25:41):
walk to go get this slurpy. I'm gonna go ahead
and take my roommate's child's toy car instead of walking.
So he's driving down the road. Multiple onlookers find this funny,
as we all would, and they do what you think
they do. They pull out their cell phones, so they
start taking video of his. Dude, he's cruising down the
main strip. He's wearing these large reflective sunglasses and you
(26:04):
can see him being trailed by police. Now he told
he told this news outlet that he had never drove
the Barbie Jeep before. I mean, you got that going
for you, because oh yeah, this is my tenth time
driving it. You know, really would have been weird. And
he was actually using hand signals and everything he said
when he would turn. And he also said, I had
(26:26):
no idea I was breaking in the laws. I didn't
know it was against the law to drive Barbie Jeep drunk.
I thought it had to be a regular car. Well, police,
on the other hand, they thought different. They released a
statement saying, quote, while it might seem to some to
be an inefficient use of police time to pull over
a driver in a toy car, the risk of the driver.
(26:48):
The risk of the driver was creating the other murderers
on the road who were forced to go around him,
coupled with the wrisk to himself and other drivers who
are not in the habit of looking for toy cars
on a busney road was enough to warn police attention.
I gotta say I kind of agree with that. Yeah, like,
you know, you can't just be jumping on a major highway,
(27:10):
y'all the same a neighborhood subdivision street. Come on, the
man said, despite the unfortunate turn of events, he doesn't
hold any grudges, and he's chalking it up to a
learning lesson which we all should when we go drive
Barbie Jeeps drunk.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Have you ever driven a Barbie Geep drunk?
Speaker 1 (27:28):
I haven't ever driven a Barbie Jeep proudly drunk or ceber.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
That was almost a setup and you passed you've never
driven one at all, So that's a good thing. We
bought one of those electric cars for our kids. But
this one was like much faster than like not a
barbie car, you know. It was like a bigger one
with cool wheels on it and stuff. And so we
went out in the front yard and we let him loose,
put our helmets on, so go after it. It wasn't
(27:54):
fifteen seconds later we heard boom. Our kids slammed into
a light pole and almost killed themselves. It looked like
actual wreckage on the highway. They flew out of.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
The car and oh, come off key a toy car.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Call my husband, Call my husband. It had two batteries
in it. It was as it was like a It
was like a cool car for a little bit older
than little Bitti's. But it went fast. How fast I
think it went like twenty miles an hour.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
You put your babies in a car that went twenty
miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Okay, maybe it wasn't twenty, but it felt like it.
As their mother, it felt like it. But sure, okay, well,
I thought my children were bright enough not to drive
straight into all They're not. No, they're not.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
No kids are well.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
We learned that, dumb We learned that lesson.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
And it looked like an actual wreck.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
I tell you what. We'll post a picture. Remind me,
I'll post a picture. I think of a video of
the wreck.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
There you got a police You should have called the police.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Like turn turn wown shit? All right, speaking of poor
decision making. Uh, let's go to the now.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
